I think I am getting closer to the core now... I have searched through other forums and found others facing the same problem suggested to disable the system sound to gain back the sound preview function.
I tried and it really works but... It reveals to me that nautilus sound preview is trying to output sound through oss ( in my system ) but /dev/dsp is being occupied by system sound which is using esd. Therefore, my question now is how can I alter nautilus to output through esd, i.e. add esdsink support in gstreamer ( I have merged esound but only get osssink in gstreamer ) or the other way round force system sound to output through oss? Any more help? Thanks a lot. >Previously I haven't got alsa installed on my system. I have tried to >merge alsa & alsa-oss etc last night.
